Oxygen consumption of drift-feeding rainbow trout: the energetic tradeoff between locomotion and feeding in flow

J. L. Johansen, O. Akanyeti, J. C. Liao

This study measures oxygen consumption in drift-feeding rainbow trout to evaluate the energetic tradeoff between locomotion and feeding in fast flows, finding refuging is not energetically beneficial due to high attack costs and low prey capture success.
